🩵 Thank you, Harbor Docks! 🩵

Emerald Coast Food Rescue is incredibly grateful to the owners and staff of Harbor Docks for their generous $5,000 donation, raised through their annual Take a Kid Fishing silent auction event!

For nearly 20 years, Harbor Docks has been more than a supporter of Emerald Coast Food Rescue — they’ve been a true partner in our mission to help provide food to those in need throughout our community. Their continued generosity, along with the support of their customers and community, makes a meaningful difference in the lives of so many.

We are so thankful for the entire Harbor Docks family and for the countless ways they have stood behind our organization over the years.

Thank you for helping us continue to Bridge the Gap one meal, one family, and one community at a time!
